November 14-15: Vintage North Jersey's "More than Just Wine Weekend"

Vintage North Jersey is a collaboration of 10 northern New Jersey  wineries in Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon and Mercer Counties. Visitors to New Jersey's northwest counties are often impressed with how much it looks like Napa in California, the Piedmont in Italy or the Rhone in France. Rolling hills, rivers and streams make this an ideal area for growing some of the state's best grapes.  

Warren County boasts three Vintage North Jersey member wineries, each celebrating the weekend in its own way; but all encourage donations for food banks.  


Villa Milagro Vineyards will offer appetizers from the Riegelsville Inn and Milford Oyster House. Each restaurant will offer discounts to winery guests. Enjoy first release of Villa Milagro holiday wines - Gracias, Feliz Navidad and Mi Carino - as you peruse a gallery display, "A Year in the Life of a Vineyard." Bring a food donation for NORWESCAP, which serves families in Sussex, Warren & Hunterdon counties, and receive a gift for yourself.
 
At Four Sisters Winery you will enjoy fresh-made Biscotti from Bridgeville Orchards Café & Bakery, paired with Captain's Choice Port and Spicy Sisters Apple Wine. Bridgeville will offer other cookies, pies and lighter fare to pair with over 20 wines produced by Four Sister. Please bring a non-perishable food item for NORWESCAP.
 

Brook Hollow Winery presents its signature dry table wines paired with foods prepared by Elias Lahoud, one of northwestern NJ's premier chefs and restaurateurs. Obtain a coupon for a future visit to Elias Restaurant for a free appetizer with the purchase of two regular entrees. Bring two canned goods for donation to local food banks, and receive a free tasting.
